4 Easy Mother’s Day Card Ideas

If you like making cards and you want to show your Mum just how much she means to you, you will love this collection of four super simple DIY cards. All of them are suitable for beginners and take about an hour to make.

1. Cut two ovals from card. Snip the end off one and cut in half lengthways to create wings. Cover the wings in red duck tape, folding the edges over. Cover the other oval in black duck tape for the body.

2. Glue on wiggle eyes and black buttons for spots. Overlap the wings slightly and push a paper fastener through the top edges. Glue the ladybird to the card then add antennae and legs with a black pen. Write your message onto a piece of card and glue in the centre of the body.

1. Cut a flower pot shape from red foam. Cut snips of green card to resemble grass and glue both onto the card, ensuring the top of the flower pot is open to create a pocket. Cut four felt flowers and four card circles. Write a message on the circles and stick onto the flowers.

2. Glue the flowers onto a length of ribbon then, once dry, tape the end into the flower pot. Tuck the flowers in to hide them. If you like you can Velcro the first flower in place at the top so that it is peeking out.

1. Take a strip of yellow card and fold it in thirds. Cut it out so that it resembles a tulip when opened out. Cut three of these. Make stalks from green card and stick these on with double sided tape.

2. Stick the flowers on top and add a secret message. Attach Velcro discs to keep your petals from opening. Finally add a bow to the stalk.
